Frequently asked
Which part of the thigh hurts most?
Inner thigh 8/10. Back of thigh 7/10. Outer thigh 4/10. The closer to inner or back, the more sensitive.
How long can I sit for a thigh tattoo?
Most people manage 3–4 hours of outer thigh comfortably. Inner thigh sessions cap shorter — 2 hours is plenty.
Does thigh skin stretch and ruin the tattoo?
Some shift with weight change. Most thigh tattoos hold up well; avoid placement on zones that change dramatically.
